About Us

Debbie and her family have made the Cardrona valley their home.  Located between Wanaka and Queenstown on the Crown Range road, the stables are situated 27 kilometres up the Cardrona Valley from Wanaka.  It’s a pleasant 20 minute drive with high country stations on either side of the valley floor.

We are situated 800 metres up the road from the iconic Cardrona Hotel, the main surviving local historic building.  Back in the late 1800s the area was home to thousands of gold miners and even now the ruins of their accommodation and mine workings abound.  You can’t miss seeing them as your horse riding trip weaves around the hills and through the valleys of this beautiful part of New Zealand.

Debbie invites you to share in her passion for horse trekking. Come and experience the thrill of a horse ride  on her Appaloosas.  She’s worked hard on putting together a riding package that over time has proven to be a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
